Read full article: Juan Soto reinstated from COVID IL, but not in Nats' lineupWASHINGTON Left fielder Juan Soto was reinstated by the Washington Nationals from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday after missing the teams first seven games of the season. The Nationals also reinstated right-handed reliever Wander Suero from the IL before Tuesdays game and optioned outfielder Andrew Stevenson to the clubs alternate training site. Only one corresponding move was necessary because the Nationals already had placed reliever Will Harris on the IL last week. During a 3-4 start to the truncated season, the Nationals are averaging 3.4 runs per game and their team OPS is just .704. NOTES: World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg will throw a simulated game Wednesday.
